...For years I have been trying to convince non-Exonians that Digby was playground slang for being stupid.
This comes from the former Digby Mental Hospital in Exeter, just over the road from Pynes Hill where I work. The hospital site is now a Tesco, a DFS and some fancy housing with posh street names. Really I think the streets should be called Insane Lane, and Nutters Avenue... but I digress.
Even people, well actually especially people who live there don't believe me about the slang, and I have never been able to prove it... until now.
Finally I have found a website that proves I am not just making it all up (and thus proving I am not going digby in the head!).
